Supreme Court reviews TLP sit-in investigation report

The Supreme Court is set to resume the hearing of the federal government's review petition in the dharna case on Monday. This comes after a special commission, established to investigate the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan's (TLP) Faizabad sit-in, has submitted its report to the government. The commission has recommended the drafting of rules and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to oversee the operations of intelligence agencies. It highlighted that the involvement of the army or its affiliated agencies in civilian matters has had a negative impact on the institution's reputation.

The report from the commission underscores the need for clear guidelines to regulate the activities of intelligence agencies. By proposing the development of rules and SOPs, the commission aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the functioning of these agencies. The commission's findings shed light on the challenges posed by the military's involvement in civilian affairs and emphasize the importance of upholding the integrity of institutions.

As the Supreme Court prepares to delve into the details of the review petition, the recommendations put forth by the special commission are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the proceedings. The call for establishing stringent regulations for intelligence agencies reflects a commitment to upholding the principles of justice and fairness in governance.
